It is the sense of the Senate that— the Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC) is a valuable program that instill the values of citizenship, service to the community, personal responsibility and a sense of accomplishment in high school students; the Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps is supported by all the Armed Forces, and there are Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps units in all 50 States, 4 United States territories, and the District of Columbia; the Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps consistently improves student outcomes across a wide variety of academic and nonacademic data points, including grade point average, high school graduation and college acceptance rates, standardized test scores, drop-out rates, discipline problems, and leadership skills; the Department of Defense should view the Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps as a unique program to help close the divide between the military and the greater civilian community in the United States; given the increased funding and more flexible policy authorized in the John S.
McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 ( Public Law 115–232 ), the Department should take every possible action to increase the number of Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps units at schools around the United States; and the desired number of Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps units should be at least 3,700 in order to relieve a significant backlog in requests to establish such units.
